Valdes-Scantling was a limited participant in practice Wednesday due to a chest injury.

Valdes-Scantling sat out the Saints' Week 16 loss in Green Bay due to an illness and a chest issue, but he was able to suit up this past Sunday versus the Raiders, playing 78 percent of the offensive snaps in a 25-10 loss. He didn't haul in either of his two targets in Week 17, and while interim head coach Darren Rizzi told Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune afterward that Valdes-Scantling picked up a back injury, the coach said one day later that the wide receiver checked out OK, per Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football. In the end, the aforementioned chest injury continues to plague Valdes-Scantling as the Saints begin Week 18 prep.
